| CHANG | —— THE || WORLD! By SENDER GARLIN Y CHALLENGE to the capitalist. press editors to pro- duce atrocity stories more frightful than the one brought back from the Soviet Union by Mrs. Edward Mc- Lean of the million-dollar diamond fame, has apparently brought a response. It’s found in the “Transcript-Telegram” of Holyoke, Mass, and is in the form of an interview with a local citizen who has Just t eturned from a world cruise which included the U.S.S.R. was Mr. and Mrs. I. Josephson of that New England town who furnfished the editor of the “Transcript-Telegram” with one of the me ion of Soviet Socialist Republics. Interviewed by a reporter for the leading newspaper of Holyoke, the Josephsons have without a doubt brought to these shores the most the U.S.S.R. devastating expose of conditions in Among thé places visited by Mr. and Mrs. Josephson and their three offspring during their brief stay in the So iet Union was Yalta, that jewel spot in the Crimea, which was once the favorite playground of the ezarist “nobility,” and now an exclusive rest-home resort for workers and peasants. Discussing’ the system of vacations in the Soviet Union, the Josephsons told the reporter for the “Transcript-Telegram” that: “They are forced to take off one and a half months in the year, but they are given full pay and the expenses of the proscribed vaca- tion are paid by the government.” Isn't that just tur-rible? Have Jobs But no “Individuality” LTHOUGH their “individuality” may be “crushed,” the Soviet work- ers seem to have a few advantages that are apparently lacking in capitelist countries, including the United States. the Holyoke Transcript-Telegram returning travelers that: For the reporter for elicited the information from the veryone has a job of some kind and is paid on merit.” “Hospital and doctors’ bills are free in case of sickness.” But something seems to rankle in the heart of the “Transcript- Telegram,” for elsewhere in the interview the theme-song recurs once more: “Advantages like these are undoubtedly attractive, yet individuality is entirely crushed, and as Mrs. Josephson says, ‘they are kept under a whip and driven like cxen.’” Mr. and Mrs. Josephson, who i in addition to spending a short time in the Sovict Union, also visited Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Syria, Palestine, Turkey and Egypt. They traveled 47,000 nautical miles and several thousand more inland. Returning as they did from a Mediter- ranean cruise; they were especially sensitive to the problems of the kind of people with whom they travelled. The “Transcript-Telegram” reporter discovered through the Jo- sephson family that “the s en hard for both Mrs. we find that tuation is difficult for people of the upper who never worked with their hands before.” Josephson and the “Transcript-Tele- reporter to decide just what their slant on the subject was, “the peasant never had a chance under the Tsar and was But it seems to for oppressed and miserable. Now he is taken care of, his children are happy and healthy, and he is sur * But “Something” Is Missing! OW that’s something, don’t you think? e of a living for his family.” , } But there seems to be a strange worm gnawing at the Josephsons as well as the boys of the “Transcript-Telegram,” for immediately following this glowing report about find once again that: “The lack of individuality is By “indivuality” the returning the ability of a small group of the new life for the formerly oppressed peasants of Russia, we to be regretted... .” Holyoke travellers apparently mean parasites to make Mediterranean cruises out of the profits of exploitation. It is true that such “indi- viduality” does not exist in the Soviet Union, by . . . Scientific Burials COMMENT on the U. S. government’s “scientific” methods of bury- ing cattle killed by the drought comes from Alfred Tiala, who is now in Waterville, Minn. Tiala, one of the leaders of the United Farmers League, was recently sentenced to serve six months in prison for eviction. joining with cther farmers in an attempt to prevent a farm “We were holding a meeting in a town in South Dakota,” writes Tiala. “One farmer came to the meeting very late. Someone asked him the reason for his lateness. He told us. “The pits in which the cattle in South Dakota are killed and buried are dug according to exact specifications. These pits must be just so many feet long and wide and just so many feet and inches deep. There must be nothing wrong from the enginecring angle with the graves in which the hundreds of thousands of Brindles, Belles and Bossiee are put to eternal rest. Our capitalist government is efficient and scientific under the rule of brain trusters. Incidentally, this ‘sci- ence’ provides good paying jobs for many political henchmen who go about as engineers, measuring the the South Dakota plains. “This farmer who was late to width and the septh of the pits in the meeting said that one of these scientific government men had come around to measure the pit which the farmer had dug for cattle to be slaughtered next day. On one side the bottom of the pit was a few inches higher than the rest of it. So the farmer had to get out his horses and a scraper and to dig away at the bottom of the pit until the new deal engineer pronounced the grave geometrically perfect. “No doubt the unemployed in steak which they don’t get, will be the cities, who dream about beef- satisfied in knowing that steers are peing buried according to the methods of evact science so that the head of the animal will not be so much as a fraction of an inch on a higher level than the tail; and when the farmer's child is crying for milk next winter the mother can quiet the child with the story of how the old brown and white cow lies with her tail on an exact level with her head.” TUNING IN 200 P, M.-WEAF—Baseball Resume WOR Sports Resume—Ford Prick wJZ—Johnson Orchestra WABC—Round Towners Quartet :15-WEAF—Gene- and Glenn—Sketch ‘WOR—Front-Page Drama WABC—Summary, Men's Amateur Golf Championship 7:30-WEAF—Pickens Sisters Trio WOR—Mystery Skeih WJZ—Grace Hayes, Sonzs WABC—Paul Keast.
